My first thought after watching --> already toned-down lakorn xDDD first 6 eps was a little heavy with the romance and slap/kiss but after that everything was toned down and it was more focused on the killings, murders, crazy villians. the mother was indeed super annoying, always behaving like a crazyyy woman.
Side note, lita and komes is such a cute couple too >.< but they had too little romance screen time >.<
I LOVE PARK EUN BIN'S ACTING!! She is so good with the gender-change acting! You could really feel she is like a real emperor when she needs to and when she wears the lady costumer she is STUNNING & ladylike! Side note, byung chan's acting is impresssive, so not used to see him act so serious and melancholy xD Rowoon and eunbin is such a lovely couple~ now i got to wait for the remaining 4eps TT.TT im torturing myself.
wow, I cannot stand the EX-BF & the ex-GF @_@ They are such toxic person ppl!! They can pair up with each other >.< What a matchmake in heaven! What great amount of thick-skin they have @_@
i thought i was seeing double~ the last min i was looking at the office blind date and i thought i clicked the page 2 times xDD turns out its a diff drama..haha xD
how did i freaking miss a gem like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was such a good watchhh!! The end got me tearing..i love the relationship between the king & queen and also the chief secretary & the officer jang & joo ho geol & the eunch!! they are all such bae to the king even thou they know he is not the real king TT.TT they have all fallen for him <33 Im seeing Yeo jin goo in a totally new light!! He is so good in his roles here!! ohh and btw, they use the same actor in the movie for the eunch role!! <33
Loved the ending!! <333 I like how they end the drama in a not so cliche way(which is super common in K-drama) .. is k-drama gonna evolve soon xDDD hahah
havent watched such a relaxing Rom-Com k-drama in a while!! Im loving the Main Cpl and won tak is so funny! wontak and moohak is like tom and jerry xDD ~ I cant wait for the final 2 eps >.< such a refreshing character setup for both ML and FL ~
Adorable couple!!!!! <3333 I really love the relationship between the main cpl and how the ML family treated XiXi ~ No prejudice and no objection just because of her social status... the drama may not have much story plot but it is one of the best contract marriage genre ive watched. To me it has very high rewatch value ^_^
wow, they didn't waste time on this remake from kdrama Blue Birthday.
you enlightened me! xDD I was wondering why this plot sounds so familiar and yeah, saw ur comment and a lightbulb suddenly lighted up in my mind. hahaha..
Can someone clarify something for me?? Does the cheater guy actually surpass ML after all heβs done??
which cheater guy you mean? Yao Ke? if you are talking abt Yao Ke than yes! but only once and that once is only because ML was in the process of discovering new insights to his chess playing.
Dunno why people hate Yu Da so much.. !!!Yu Da says in ep 18 to Cheng Yi " MONEY isn't ours to take before birth…
OMGEE SAME HERE! I also did not know why people hated Yu Da, he might be a little childish at first, but after that his character growth was impressive. In fact i was rooting for him in the end =) Yu Da might be young, but he is always giving new insights to Cheng Yi during her worst times.
Is there any 2nd FL who likes ML? And any misunderstandings/breakups between the main couple? pls feel free to…
There is no 2nd FL, but there is a short amount of eps(about ep 29 ~ 32) of another female chess player who is kinda 'obsessed' with him and wants to win him over. But our ML of course is very strong in his stand and tried all ways to block her out, but honestly that girl is pretty ridiculous >.< There is a small misunderstanding between the cpl (ep 31~32) but got resolved pretty fast, no breakups.
Not as bad as I thought. ITs a very positive drama and life lessons conveyed thru the drama. The relationship…
Side note:- I kept seeing people getting annoyed at Yu Da but I felt that his character is not bad at all. Instead, i felt Xu Chi(love for Cheng Yi) was a little bit too extreme to the point of obsessed? he was a little but creepy after that when Cheng yi has made her point that she will not accept him. Instead, I felt that Yu Da is pretty commendable, although his character was a little bit childish at the start, but his character growth is pretty obvious.
